49 | Coming to Terms with Human Finitude w/ Prof. Martin Hägglund
from What's Left of Philosophy · host Lillian Cicerchia, Owen Glyn-Williams, Gil Morejón, and William Paris
In this episode we are joined by Martin Hägglund to discuss the existentialist's argument for what makes human life meaningful—and why democratic socialism is the logical conclusion to reach after having considered the matter carefully. We also dig into the limits of social democracy, the need for the state, and the revaluation of value that is yet to come.leftofphilosophy.com | @leftofphilFollow Martin: @martinhaegglund | http://martinhagglund.seReferences:Martin Hägglund, This Life: Secular Life and Spiritual Freedom (New York: Penguin Random House, 2020)What Is Democratic Socialism?
